I didn't say it's bad or useless. It in fact is excellent and extremely useful.All I'm saying is, read it, understand it, and then use your head to interpret and translate the info properly.Don't follow it down to the letter otherwise you might end up with a map that would play fantastically in CoD.

Of course.

But finally I understand, why Dust2 is played over and over by zylions of peaple around the world.

I think we could start some topic here focusing only on layout - specially bomb mode:)

Sounds good to me, added a section named "layouts" and moving this topic there.

As far As I can see - layout is the only thing You can't download or copy - You have to learn it.

you can copy it - but then it's all copied I tried on some (all wip) maps to adapt a layout, but I still always want to create something "New".That's why I read that bible - and try to design the layout of my map(s)

This probably needs to go in the wiki and the wiki needs a level design section.

If anyone is interested in googling for layouts - previous ideas, good ideas it would be nice.

It would be nice to just be able to browse through a list of design ideas and pick one as a base for your map.

I'm sure there was once a website where you chose your gametype and it generated a random map, it wasn't for urban terror specifically but it might be a good idea to have something like that here.
